Resurrection Empire

In the history of ancient human civilization, there once was such an era.

Due to years of war and finally making relatively correct choices at the right time, a broadly defined ethnic group living on a relatively small land took the lead in taking the step of industrialization.

After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, humans on Earth have for the first time gained the ability to completely break the boundaries of geographical barriers composed of seas, ice sheets, deserts, plateaus, and mountains.

In this stage, in just a few decades, human beings on earth have moved from the agricultural era to the industrial era as quickly as a rocket.

Next, in the ups and downs of the world, the group that took the lead in mastering modern scientific theories, farther and more accurate naval guns, armored ships, production lines, better firearms and other war weapons began to take steps to expand outwards. Then we set foot on a fertile land.

The original ethnic groups living on this land are still sadly stuck in the agricultural era and have no power to resist.

What follows is endless massacre, and more massacre.

In order to occupy the magpie's nest faster, the invaders not only raised weapons, but also began to spread plague.

The population of the indigenous people who were stuck in the agricultural era continued to decline sharply.

This group of miserable watchmen sometimes didn't even know what was happening, and just saw their family members falling ill one after another.

They obviously just took over a quilt from a "kind" businessman, but all their family members died.

This is the technical generation difference.

The annihilation of a clan without bloodshed is the power of technological generation.

Today, the relationship between the Ascendants and the Mechanical Empire is almost the same as that of the original group of "barbarians" and "aboriginals".

The Mechanical Empire has the longest history, but because it maintains human characteristics, it loses one step at a time in the field of exhaustive scientific research.

Many of the technologies that the Mechanical Empire is proud of are useless in front of the sublimators. For example, information flow scanning and communication technology have been completely wiped out, just like the aboriginals worked hard to create broken hair. The brave warriors wielded these cold weapons that were regarded as magic weapons in the past. They charged at the invaders in groups, but they were mowed down in pieces by firearms.

The Ascended Ones ignored the "watchtowers" deployed by the Mechanical Empire outside the new frontier and spread out their troops with ease. Then, like shadows in the night, or like a life-killing plague hidden in the quilt, they continued to approach. , get closer again.

In the Mechanical Empire, there are still many sensible people who know that there is a technological generation gap between the Empire and the three major enemies. But after all, so many years have passed. Although there are gaps, the empire has always stood and has not really perished.

Therefore, most people believe that this generation gap exists objectively, but it is still acceptable.

But unlike others, Ren Zhong is an absolute pessimist.

Although he handed over the megablast cells from the Mother Imperial Ship, he also kept a backup in his hand.

Chifeng Academy of Sciences and Yuanxing Academy of Sciences have never stopped researching megablast cells, and new conclusions are being drawn every day.

These conclusions are no deeper than what the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Mechanical Empire came up with.

But compared with the Royal Academy of Sciences, the only advantage the Chifeng tribe has is that they have Ren Zhong.

Ren Zhong established his own logic based on these conclusions, and then tried to use his own predictive ability and broader and more chaotic thinking to guess and make bold assumptions, and then he came to a conclusion that only belonged to him.

He understood the true horror of a race like the Ascended, which takes self-evolution and proliferation as its path.

Use the method of genetic evolution to advance science, use exhaustive mutation to continue trial and error, skip theory and basic subject research, and leave everything to the instinct of life to drive, and then when needed, you only need to hold a piece of gene chain , we can complete a huge range of productivity innovations in a very short time.

When necessary, the Ascended Ones can expand a huge population in a very short period of time just like fungi multiply.

This kind of civilization has also received secret help from pilgrims and psychic demons. In the war of the cosmic dimension, they have an absolutely overwhelming advantage over the mechanical empire, which is a complete dimensionality reduction blow.

Therefore, even if he saw the short-term benefits of a "tragic victory" in his prediction, Ren Zhong believed that the empire had no chance of winning.

This so-called victory at a huge cost is actually worse than the loss of ground in defeat.

Ren Zhong believed that the Ascended Ones had no intention of using this battle to defeat the Empire in one fell swoop from the beginning.

Pilgrims and psychic demons did not go all out to assist the Ascended.

This is really just a test.

Ren Zhong believed that the "tragic victory" he saw in his prediction was the strategic goal pursued by the other party.

The alliance of the three tribes is going to use this trial to try and explore the details of cooperation. After all, this has never happened before.

At the same time, they also want to see how much impact the three parties can have on the mechanical empire after joining forces.

Besieging the three major star regions, deliberately leaving star gate passages, continuously consuming the empire's core troops, productivity and population, spreading panic throughout the empire to suppress the morale of the mechanical empire and the normal technological production process. This is why the Ascendants launched this trial the fundamental purpose of war.

In the end, although the trial war of the three-community alliance will be repelled, it is actually a complete victory.

The productivity of the three major star regions will be completely destroyed, and the empire's center will suffer heavy losses in this extremely anxious tug-of-war and expose its own weakness.

Then, the next action of the three-community alliance will definitely be more fierce.

Without the injection of new external forces, the Mechanical Empire will definitely be constantly strangled by opponents that cannot be dealt with alone, until it is completely destroyed.

Ren Zhong has no feelings for the Mechanical Empire, but the Mechanical Empire is currently the only backing the Chifeng Clan can rely on.

If there is no skin left, how will the hair be attached?

He didn't want to see the mechanical empire die.

Therefore, Ren Zhong decided to let himself become the variable.

In the tide of the times, mediocre people drift with the tide while complaining about others, lamenting the unfairness of fate while waiting bitterly for the salvation of others.

But the real trendsetters will use their own methods to bravely stand out, become outstanding, shine brightly, and become a variable in the times.

Of course, once it becomes a variable, it means that it will inevitably attract more hostile eyes and must face greater risks. But risks and opportunities always coexist. Some trendsetters will be swallowed up by the storm, leaving only a little bit of insignificant waves, but some trendsetters can always stand on the top of the waves and open up their own era.

…

Time flows slowly and quietly, and four full years have passed since the deadline for the outbreak of war "predicted" by Ren Zhong.

By this time, Ren Zhong and his Chifeng tribe had become an epic joke in the empire.

Ren Zhong and his Chifeng tribe are obviously a new civilization with extremely promising future. In all aspects, they have shown potential that far exceeds that of ordinary imperial counts and their people.

Whether it is scientific research capabilities or production capabilities, or commercial capabilities and reproductive capabilities, or even the overall social ideology and war capabilities of the ethnic group, they are all outstanding and gifted.

No one doubts that, given time, the Chifeng tribe will gradually become a powerful force at the marquis level or even the duke level, and become the backbone of the mechanical empire system.

Chi Fengbo himself also has a very high chance of becoming the new official chosen one.

But the funny thing is that Chi Fengbo actually went "crazy" at the critical moment.

Because of his inexplicable so-called intuition, the Chifeng clan, which was booming and gaining momentum, came to a sudden halt on the road to rapid development.

He gave up all the fiefdoms and food planets, recalled all the personnel stationed abroad, transferred everyone to large or small interstellar navigation vehicles, and gathered them near a galaxy in the Liaoyuan Galaxy.

If the account used by the Chifeng Ministry of Commerce to receive foreign technology licensing funds was not still open, many imperial companies and nobles who purchased invisible coatings, new metal recycling and new dark matter capture and development technologies could still transfer the money. Service staff of the Chifeng Academy of Science If they can still provide remote guidance through the information flow network, other people in the empire will almost think that the Chifeng tribe has evaporated out of thin air.

Previously, the Chifeng tribe took the initiative to terminate the planet lease contract.

According to the original contract, even if the Chifeng tribe no longer uses these planets, they still have to pay the rent on time.

However, those companies and middle- and lower-class nobles who rented out planets had a hard time trying to please them, or perhaps they were too frightened to take the free money, fearing that they would be liquidated one day in the future, so these lessors not only gave up collecting rent , and even voluntarily gave up the right to pursue liquidated damages.

A large number of planets in the Nanxiang star cluster have been returned to their original owners.

When the Red Feng Tribe evacuated, they moved away many of the newly built important production lines on these planets, but they still left behind many of the original factories on the planets, as well as a large number of locals who had lived with the Red Feng Tribe day and night.

After the lessor returned to the planet, he was extremely surprised to find that the overall quality of the population under his rule had increased by at least 50% by 50%.

These people have transformed from mere numbers representing the population into fresh and dynamic new productive forces one after another.

Those people sent by the Chifeng Earl's Palace to manage the planet are like magicians with the power to turn stone into gold.

They turned decay into magic and increased the value of these planets by at least half in a very short period of time.

But soon, the clutches of Nanxiang Earl's Mansion reached out again.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Relying on their remaining power, the Liu family easily took over the influence that Chifeng Earl's Mansion had given up.

These former lessors of the planet were not surprised by this, nor were they very angry. Instead, they were happy to see it happen.

Anyway, their planet has become more valuable. If Nanxiang Earl's Mansion wants to infiltrate, it will have to pay more.

As a result, Liu An and his Nanxiang Earl's Mansion naturally became the biggest beneficiaries of the Chifeng tribe's strategic contraction strategy.

Liu An finally swept away the previous decline and saw the hope of revival.

However, no matter how noisy the outside world is, no matter how others ridicule, Ren Zhong and his people are only strictly executing the established plan.

Everyone in the world thought that the development of the Chifeng Clan had stalled, but only those within knew that they were undergoing a transformation. In a sense, it is also called regression.

When the fleet left the Source Star and headed for the Nanxiang Star Cluster, Ren Zhong and the former Source Star humans experienced the pain of transitioning from surface civilization to space civilization.

At the beginning of a voyage, people often seem at a loss even though they have done a lot of training in advance. Things often go wrong in space travel.

It was not until many years later that the humans of Source Star slowly adapted to that kind of life and restored productivity and creativity.

After that, the humans from the Origin Star took root on the Chifeng Planet, and slowly transformed from a space wandering civilization back to a surface civilization, and became the Chifeng Clan.

After another two hundred years of reproduction and development, the Chifeng tribe quickly reached the pinnacle level of surface civilization in the Nanxiang star cluster.

In the past four years, Ren Zhong has allowed the Chifeng tribe to rediscover the unique temperament of a space wandering civilization.

After the initial confusion, people quickly adapted to the relatively narrow and crowded living space in the ship in just a few years, and also adapted to the differences between the space laboratory and the planet surface laboratory.

The population of the Chifeng tribe began to grow slowly but surely again.

The sound of children reading aloud began to sound again in one large or small ship cabin.

Different planetary ships began to form unique multi-cultures due to their different positioning and origins.

Space vacuum environment walking suits that are very close-fitting and durable, and have extremely low manufacturing costs are becoming more and more popular. There are even children who put on spacewalking suits during vacations and explore the vacuum surface outside the ship.

The growth in the number of super warriors has begun to resume speed after several months of stagnation.

It took several years for many branches under the Chifeng Academy of Science to gradually complete equipment replacement and mindset transformation.

The Chifeng tribe has returned to the original group of brave wanderers who, with the strength of the whole tribe, had the courage to rush to the unknown stars for the survival of civilization.

At the same time, there will always be people in the outside world who think that his heavy-handed and brainless decisions will inevitably damage his prestige, and there will be people in the Chifeng tribe who will be bored with him and even want to rebel.

So far, no one has defected, only Ren Zhong has carried out brutal authoritarian suppression.

But in fact, this was not the case. They underestimated Ren Zhongzai's prestige within the clan.

Under the constant propaganda of the diplomatic and cultural departments led by Xiao Xingyue, and inspired by Ren Zhong's personal miracles from time to time, his personal authority has been at its peak from beginning to end and has never fallen.

No one within the clan would ever really question his decision-making.

…

One day, a shocking news suddenly spread throughout the empire.

A small reconnaissance ship active dozens of light years outside the boundary of the Long River Star Territory hit something without warning.

The captain of the reconnaissance ship pressed the "last radio wave" activation button in time before his death to send a warning to the empire's rear.

According to the star map, this area is a complete cosmic vacuum, and there are no such things as space meteorites.

Therefore, what crashed into the reconnaissance ship must be some kind of man-made object that moved here.

While the Imperial Intelligence Agency was frantically collecting information, trying to deduce what kind of man-made object it was, more and more similar reports came back from multiple areas outside the Far Frontier Star Territory, the Long River Star Territory, and the Yupan Star Territory.

At this point, there is no need to judge.

Anyone with any brain knows this.

After dormant for hundreds of years, the Ascended Ones once again started an undeclared war, and the attack was fierce.
